Chardonnay 2003 - Bouchaine Vineyards

Sold Out

This mid-weight Chardonnay is long on flavor and delivers lots of true Chardonnay character - lemon zest and citrus notes with a touch of pineapple layered with vanilla and spice on the finish. This is a versatile Chardonnay but we suggest you try this with a fresh, crisp Caesar salad or seafood.

Bouchaine Vineyards is established in the oldest continually operated winery in the Carneros wine region, and the site was first planted to vines and orchards in the mid-1800s by pioneer farmer Boon Fly and his family. In 1927, before the end of Prohibition, the property was established as the Garetto Winery and Vineyards. Johnny Garetto was a pioneer in the planting of wine grapes in Carneros, an area with climate and soils similar to his home in Italy .

Immediately after the Repeal of Prohibition, Garetto operated perhaps the first winery with a tasting room in Carneros. Garetto shipped his wine to San Francisco and elsewhere from Buchli Station, a historic railway station located just south of the Bouchaine property. The road that Bouchaine is located on is called Buchli Station Road and Bouchaine created Buchli Station wines in honor of this era.
